About Us Company History

Company History

Established in 1974

Modern Chemical Inc. was founded in 1974 by Mr. Russell D. Huntley, a WWII veteran and former prisoner of war, with a clear mission to advance the chemical industry through innovation, safety, and performance. His experiences during the war shaped a lifelong commitment to resilience, precision, and creating safer working environments through better chemical solutions.

Built on that foundation, the company was established to improve industrial cleaning and deliver dependable performance across demanding sectors.

Today, Modern Chemical remains a privately held, family-led company under the ownership of Mariah Spencer and Blake Spencer. They are leading the company into its next phase of growth with a focus on modernization, operational strength, and expansion into national and international markets.

The company continues to operate on its founding principles of quality, performance, and customer commitment while evolving into a more globally competitive organization with continued investment in innovation and long-term partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can we get Blue Gold and how long will it take?
To find our nearest distributor, please reach out to our Corporate Office at 1-800-366-8109 during our operating hours, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time.

What are the differences between the Blue Gold Industrial Cleaner and the Blue Gold Spray Wash? 
It's important for consumers to recognize that while both products share the same cleaning efficiency and similar characteristics such as scent and color, Blue Gold Spray Wash is specifically engineered with a low-foaming ingredient. This unique formulation requires activation by heating the solution to at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This feature makes Blue Gold Spray Wash particularly well-suited for applications involving enclosed loop systems like cabinet washers, where the prevention of suds and foam buildup is paramount. By understanding this distinction, consumers can make more informed decisions regarding which product aligns best with their cleaning needs and equipment specifications. Should you have any further inquiries or require clarification about our products, please do not hesitate to reach out for assistance. We are here to help ensure you choose the most suitable solution for your cleaning requirements!
Anything with a pH of 13 is caustic so that makes Blue Gold caustic, right?
While OSHA indicates that anything with higher than 12.5 pH is caustic it also allows for you to test to disprove this assumption. Caustics "eat or burn away tissue" and are corrosive. CFR29 section 1910.1200 appendix A defines corrosive as "a chemical that causes visible destruction or irreversible alterations in living tissue by chemical action". Independent lab tests on rats mice and rabbits for inhalation, ingestion and skin abrasion indicate no "visible destruction or irreversible alterations" to the tissue. Caustics also make the contamination they are removing a part of the solution, unlike Blue Gold which holds the contaminates in temporary suspension while the solution is heated and agitated. Upon removal of the agitation, Blue Gold releases the oils and greases( except for those that are water soluble) and allows them to rise to the surface. Here they may be easily removed via skimmers or oil absorbent sheets allowing you to extend the bath life of your Blue Gold solution.
What other types of surfaces can Blue Gold be used on?
Blue Gold has undergone rigorous testing according to ARP 1755 standards, demonstrating its safety for use on both ferrous and nonferrous metals. Additionally, it has been assessed and proven safe for application on both unpainted and painted surfaces, as well as various plastics according to AMS 1530 specifications. Notably, in a comprehensive United Air Lines Interior Cleaning test, Blue Gold exhibited no adverse effects on a wide range of materials including natural rubber, silicone rubber, electric wiring insulation, neoprene, leather, vinyl, plastics, naugahyde, kydex, polypropylene, polyplastex, as well as wool, nylon, or acrylic carpeting.
